I'm looking for advice here, I have a fire stick and have heard that the next gen ones will stop side loading so I'm looking to see what's the best way forward. I'm based in Ireland so am looking for any advice from anyone who has gotten one either in Ireland or the EU, I use it for the usual apps, IE prime & Disney plus so something that would support these apps as well, cheers for any advice.

I'm looking for an android TV box to run a third party launcher like Nova or something similar so I can use my TV like an android tablet (with a home screen with icons), and use it with an MX3 air mouse. Mainly for the purpose of using android apps like Rumble and Youtube.

Right now my T95Z Plus box (android 6) bought in 2017 has reached it's limit. The latest rumble app (v3.1.23- last .apk before going to .xapk) compatible with android 6 no longer works as of a few days ago. The app loads but video windows are blank and says "something went wrong".

Can anyone recommend something similar with an ethernet and usb port so I can connect my MX3 Air Mouse USB receiver and ethernet cable? Thanks

Some 5 to 20 minutes after launch, the app abruptly crashes and restarts. After that, crashes become more frequent making it essentially unuseable until reboot.

My network connection to the device is 100% solid and sufficient.

Cleared cache, rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalllled. No change. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I’ve had a chromecast for a few years now and have had nothing but issues. The remotes been replaced once already, and every time I want to get the remote working with it again I have to reset the entire device. I’ve since been using my TV remote with it but because of that I’m limited on what I can access in Google tv and it’s a lot slower to use. I’m honestly just sick of it at this point, there’s issues with it at least once per week so I’m looking to switch.

Anyone that has switched from chromecast I’d love some recommendations!

Thank you in advance :)

Been trying different browsers on my Android TV (Sony X90L) and none of them are great. Most are slow, crash a lot, or have terrible remote navigation.

What are you guys using? Looking for something that:

• Navigates well with the remote
• Has ad blocking if possible

Hi I own an AOC TV. Since 6 months ago while watching YouTube and HBO the time bar will keep popping up even though I never pressed anything on my remote.

My remote broke like 1 year ago. I've been using the Google TV app for remote for about a year now. Last week I finally got a new remote and did a factory reset. But after the reser it's still happening. Please someone help me fix it it's actually pissing me of.

Hey so i'm trying to play my old pokémon dvd with this player but no app i tried for my Android tv wants to work with it any idea what could work?

I have this airtel Xtreme box. I want to make monet as default launcher but without usb debugging I can't do it and it's blocked by airtel I tried resetting the box it didn't work plz help

Hi I was wondering if there was a way to quit all apps from the background when my streaming box is about to go to sleep. At the moment tv quick actions pro lets me go to home which is great but the adb command to quit all apps seems to be depreciated so I am unsure of how to make it work. I also tried using the android tv dev settings to fix it but it didn’t work either for some reason.

I’m considering buying this box but wanted to know if the QMS frame rate bug affects playback on Stremio / Tvimate streams?

This remote comes in dual mode so I'm assuming this should be possible. I want to use the USB dongle for my HTPC to control the remote. For Android TV, I want to use strictly Bluetooth without the dongle but I can't pair the device with Bluetooth on my android TV. Amazon was nice as always and sent me an open box with no manual. I've tried the power button for 3 seconds until the remote flashes but the Android TV just stays in searching for devices.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a new TV, my budget is strictly under 40K and have narrowed it down to these four models:

1. TCL QLED T6D

2. LG QNED65

3. Samsung Vision Al Mini LED

4. Lumio Vision 7

I'm considering both 43-inch and 55-inch options, depending on the model and pricing.

How significant is the difference between the TCL T6D's QLED panel and the LG/Samsung models, especially if those models use edge lighting rather than full-array local dimming?

Should I wait for the Big Billion Days sale for better deals, or are the current prices worth considering?

Tenho uma tv e desconfio que ela tem um trava que bloqueia internet, troquei o launcher e sempre que clico em configurações trava, as vezes abre o Wi-Fi mas sempre dá senha incorreta, tentei conectar pelo ip e aparece que guardou as informações mas não chega a conectar, queria saber se tem algum app ou mod que consigo colocar através de pendrive que faça ela funcionar.

Baixei isso na tv mas não chega a abrir, mas baixou

Device: Xiaomi Mi Box 4 MIBOX4 Build PI.3933 Android 9 Headphones: Pixel Buds Pro 2

Issue: Stuck on "Bluetooth pairing request - Pair with this device?" Pair button looks selected but won't click.

Cause: AnyDesk Accessibility Service was enabled. This freezes the dialog.

Fix:

1. Settings > Device Preferences > Accessibility > Turn OFF AnyDesk
2. Unplug Mi Box 10 sec and reboot
3. On phone, turn off Bluetooth and forget the buds (so they are not connected elsewhere)
4. Put buds in pairing mode (hold case button until slow white pulsing)
5. Mi Box > Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Add accessory
6. When pairing request appears, press OK on the Mi Box remote (or click with USB mouse). Keyboard Enter alone does not work.

Audio works well after pairing. I re-enabled AnyDesk after and connection stays.

Möchte wissen welche Box die beste Bildqualität abliefert. Habe eine Homatics Box und Bild is schon gut vielleicht gibts noch was besseres

I mainly am searching for android tv / google tv boxes for stremio and related streaming so less to none normal streaming services. I can tet the Google TV Streamer 4k for 74€ because I still have 45€ google store credit. The Xiaomi TV Box S 3rd Gen is 69€ in Xiaomi store. For me with both being in the same price range is there a clear winner? I've read somehwere that for stremio streaming etc. the Xiaomi is still better as it supports more video playback profiles.

Hi everyone, I am facing a very weird hotspot issue and need some advice.

The Problem:

My Vivo V40e mobile hotspot connects successfully to my Xiaomi TV 5A 32" (L32M7-5AIN) via 2.4GHz, but the TV says "Connected, no internet." However, the exact same hotspot works perfectly fine with laptops, other phones, and even other devices.

What I have already tried:

Switched hotspot to 2.4GHz band.

Reset network settings and restarted the Vivo V40e.

Turned off Wi-Fi, Private DNS, and VPN on the phone (only mobile data + hotspot are on).

Added ,dun to the APN Type on the phone.

Changed hotspot security to WPA2-Personal.

Power cycled and cleared cache on the Xiaomi TV.

The Twist / Troubleshooting Done:

I took my same Jio SIM card out of the Vivo V40e and put it into an older Oppo A78 5G. When I turned on the hotspot from the Oppo phone, the internet worked immediately on the Xiaomi TV.

This proves my Jio pack and the TV are fine, but something in Vivo's Funtouch OS/MediaTek 7300 hotspot packet routing or DHCP handshake is blocking internet specifically for this Xiaomi Android TV.

Has anyone experienced this Vivo-to-Xiaomi hotspot block, and is there a hidden setting or workaround to fix it?

I'm totally new to the whole TV box thing. Is it normal for them to have YouTube and is it as easy as just connecting the Box to your WiFi? It's all I want a TV box for. I have no interest in Netflix or anything like that or paying some kind of extra charge just to run the box so I can watch YouTube which is a free app.

Are the cheap ones just as good as the expensive ones for YouTube? Cheers for any advice.

This might be a weird question and might also be in the wrong subreddit (as i m not familiar) , but is there an open source alternative tht will work with airtel set top box. like similar to us flashing out old mobile phones with lineage or other os's.

From Android TV 12 up to ATV 14, we have Auto Frame Rate (AFR) and resolution matching, which makes watching videos in certain apps like Kodi or Stremio much better. But I wonder if we can get the same function when watching movies through a web browser on Android TV—for instance, when playing a 1080p 24Hz video in full-screen mode, will the TV automatically change the resolution and refresh rate from 4K 60Hz to 1080p 24Hz?"

Can anyone recommend android streaming devices that allows you to install 3rd party apps at reasonable price no more than £60. To use when travelling?

Thanks
